Just wondering does anybody do this as well as there W/C round and if so is it worth it. I am thinking of maybe adding this on to my business so as much info would help me out.

Have a look at Kranzle machines.  They don't come cheap at £900 for a mid-range cleaner but the quality is fantastic.

I used to do stone cleaning before becoming a shiner and it does pay really well but unfortunately it is seasonal so you're right to have it just as an "add-on".

I charged £1.50 the square yard and £2.50 the yard if repointing was needed, but this was 6 years ago so I imagine you'd get away with more now. Also pack a sack trolley in your van to shift heavy plant tubs...and charge for this because nobody but nobody thinks to move these out of the way before you arrive.

Good luck!
